I took it out yesterday on Centerhill and ran it all day. I am amazed at the 4 stroke engines vs. the 2 stroke engines. This boat with just me in it on flat water will do about 35mph. It also idles down real low and thus I want to do some trolling for smallmouths when other tactics wont catch them. There was a few times this spring when I would go smallmouth fishing at Centerhill and I couldnt buy a bite but I watched this old guy out trolling and he would wear them out. So I have always said if you cant beat them, join them. Just thought it would be another way of fishing in the bag of tricks. I was probably going to use some of the deep running bandits and try to hang on a contour break. As I watched that guy do it that appears to be what he was doing. It would make sense since I wasnt catching any they had moved out to much deeper water. If I remember correctly most of the time it was the back side of a cold front coming in.
I really cant wait till they start running the generators on the Caney so I can chase the big browns in my boat. It is an awesome set up for that.
